All over the world, healthy foods, functional foods, diet foods and many similar terms are on the agenda. Consumers are offered different types of foods for a healthy diet. To this end, studies to improve the functional properties of bread have gained momentum. One of the ways to improve the functional properties of bread is to use flours with more functional properties than wheat flour. However, the effects of the added flours on the rheology of the dough are also different. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of flours (buckwheat (10-30%), carob (3, 6, 9, and 12), chickpea (10-50%), oat (10-50%), and barley (10-50%)) in different proportions added to bread flour on the rheological properties of the dough. The Mixolab® (Chopin) instrument was used to determine the rheological properties. A standard protocol for flour analysis was used for the analysis of bread flour and other flour mixtures. Various rheological and other dough properties were determined, such as water holding capacity, development time, stability, amylase activity, and degree of flour retrogradation. Using the obtained Mixolab curve, C1 values for water retention and stability, C2 values for protein quality, C3 values for starch gelatinization, C4 values for amylase activity, and C5 values for degree of starch degradation were measured. C1 changed between 1.049 and 1.160 Nm, C2 between 0.326 and 0.583 Nm, C3 between 1.218 and 2.130 Nm, C4 between 0.955 and 1.978 Nm, and C5 between 0.946 and 2.807 Nm depending on the flour ratio and type used. As a result of the tests, it was found that the flour with 30% barley flour, 20% oat flour, 9% carob flour and 20% buckwheat flour was the most suitable for the bread flour profile.
The physical properties (bulk, tapped and particle density, flowability, porosity, particle size, hygroscopicity, degree of caging and reconstitution properties), chemical properties (moisture content, color, glass transition temperature, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity) properties and sorption isotherms of freeze-dried jujube powder prepared with and without carrier agents (inulin, gum arabic, and whey) were studied. The moisture content, hygroscopicity, Carr index, Hausner ratio, and degree of caking of the powder with a carrier agent, especially whey, were lower than jujube powder without carrier agent (control). In contrast, the glass transition temperature, bulk, and tapped density were higher. Jujube powder with inulin (74.07) and whey (72.07) retained more brightness compared to gum arabic (66.56) and control (65.85). The sorption isotherms of all jujube powders depend on the temperature and the type of carrier agent. The equilibrium moisture content decreased with increasing temperature. The monolayer moisture content of the powder containing whey was lower than other samples (M0=0.072 g/g dry solids for 25°C and M0=0.062 g/g dry solids for 40°C according to GAB model), followed by inulin added powder, gum arabic added powder, and control
